Chapter 131: Hope

"So...... What are you going to do in the future!" Donner asked softly, not insisting.

This thing can't be forced, and it can't be forced, the teenager has his own stubbornness and self-esteem, maybe for survival, for the sake of his family, he will continue to steal or guns in the future, but Donner respects his own choice.

This is the way of the world, and it can't be changed.

Duck was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know!"

"Anyway, don't die...... Always survive!" Duck had a confused look on his face, which made people feel extremely sad and heavy.

Donner sighed and turned to look at the growing crowd on the street.

How do these people survive?

"I'm leaving!" Darker said, taking his sister's hand and standing up.

Donner came back to his senses and subconsciously said, "Wait!"

Duck looked at him, not knowing what he meant.

Donner's thoughts went back and forth a thousand times, and suddenly he thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Duck, are you familiar with Manhill City?"

Duck nodded: "I grew up in Manhill City, and I am familiar with every street and alley. ”

"Really?

If you didn't know Duck from the beginning, it wouldn't have been fine, but now that you do, Donner always feels like he should do something.

"Hire me?" Dark's eyes lit up, his expression hesitated, and he asked in a low voice, "I...... What can I do for you? I have very little strength. ”

Duck had some expectations, and his stubbornness made him reject the money bag, but people always have to live, especially with his sister Diana.

If he wants to live, he has to work, and no one among the other businessmen wants to hire him, but Donner says yes at this time, and Duck wants to do it, but his only concern is what he can do.

Downer said, "We don't need to do anything, we want to buy a shop in Manhill City, but we are not familiar with the city, can you be our guide?"

"I'm willing to hire you for twenty copper coins a day. Downer added emphatically.

The price wasn't too high, too high for Duck to mistake for a handout, and twenty copper coins was just a little more than the price of hiring an average coolie.

"Brother Donner, no...... Not so much. Darker hurriedly waved his hand, this reward was too high for him, and it was a little unrealistic.

At that time, he worked as a coolie, and the merchants were only willing to pay ten copper coins, and finally disliked his lack of strength, so they fired him.

Therefore, Duck did not dare to ask for such a high salary, he was afraid that he would be useless, and in the end Donner was unwilling to hire him.

Donner said seriously: "Dark, don't say no, this is what you deserve, and if you do a good job, there will be an additional reward." ”

"Would you like to?"

"I do. Duck nodded gratefully.

"That's right. Donner smiled and glanced at Diana on the side, and asked Dark, "Then even if I officially hire you from now on, do you know where to sell it in Manhill City?"

Duck thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about this, but I do know that there is someone who knows, and I can take you to him." ”

"Who!" Donner was a little surprised, he had hired this kid from the slums to help him, thinking that he might be able to save two lives, but he didn't expect Duck to surprise him.

"Uncle Kodo. "I heard from my father that he used to be a slum boy, but he was lucky enough to be taken by a rich man, and he worked for that rich man ever since." ”

Then, Duck added: "Uncle Cordo is a good man, and sometimes he brings some food to the slums and distributes it to everyone. ”

Donner thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, then, you stay here tonight, I'll have someone take you and your sister to take a shower and change your clothes, and then tomorrow morning, we'll go to him." ”

Duck hesitated, then nodded in agreement. My father is dead, and there is no need to rush home.

There was nothing of value in the house except for a few planks of wood in front of them to protect them from the wind and rain, and besides, there was no father's home...... Is it still home?

Duck led his sister and was taken down by Matthew.

Donner changed to a guard and instructed, "Before it gets dark, go to the tailor's shop diagonally opposite, make two sets of clothes, and make them according to the figure of Duck and his sister." ”

The escort took the order, and Jason asked on the side, "Commander, are we really going to hire him?"

Downer hummed and said, "Yes, it's just a gesture, and you see, Duck is very familiar with Manhill City, and now he has found someone to sell it, isn't it all a surprise?"

Jason thought about it for a while, and thought so, so he didn't say anything more.

Half an hour later, the guards returned, and Donner walked to Duck's room with his clothes in his hand.

Originally, two rooms were prepared, but Duck refused, the first was because he didn't want to waste it, and the second Diana was afraid to leave her brother's side.

At this time, the two had just taken a shower and had not fallen asleep, and Duck leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the roof, not knowing what he was thinking.

The younger sister, Diana, walked around the room, carefully touching the stools and chairs in the room, and the clean and soft blanket of the bed, as if afraid of getting dirty, and asked her brother all sorts of strange questions.

Darker was absent-minded, and there was a non-match answer.

There was a knock on the door, and Duck was startled.

"Dark, it's me. It was Donner shouting from outside.

Duck relented, got out of bed and opened the door. Donner looked at the shabby clothes on Duck's body and handed over the clothes in his hand: "This is the clothes I prepared for you and Diana, the clothes on your bodies are too shabby, change them!"

"It's ......," Duck didn't answer.

Donner looked at him and said, "This, it's a gift from me to Diana, don't worry about it, just help me do things with peace of mind in the future." ”

Donner tucked his clothes into his hands and patted him on the shoulder, "Go to bed early, kid." Then he turned and walked away.

Duck watched Donner's back disappear into the darkness as he watched him get farther and farther away, and when he closed the door, he suddenly felt like crying.

For more than ten years, no one has ever been so kind to him, and since he was sensible, he has grown up in hunger and cold.

Discriminated against, reviled and beaten, he had heard the troubadour speak of happiness, but he didn't know what it was like.

There is never hope for life, and in his opinion, the world is always dark, and there is no light in sight.

The only thing he had, perhaps, was to live, to live for his family.

But today, he suddenly discovers that his world has been pushed open by a door, and there is light behind the door.

Dark's eyes were red, and his sister looked at her brother curiously. Asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you, why are your eyes red?" ”

"Brother is fine, let my brother cry for a while. ”
